|description = Wikipedia is one of the most highly visited websites in the world, but representation of women of color is strikingly low—both in terms of who contributes to the site and the subjects they write about. Many local and national environmental justice women activists are not represented among Wikipedia's many biographies.
|description = Join us for an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts to chat about free culture topics and to edit articles together. There is no set agenda, and guests are invited to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.
 
   
  +
Join us to set the record straight, make some friends, and celebrate the activists who have fought to make our urban environments greener. No Wikipedia editing experience necessary; training will be provided.
Coffee, tea and soft drinks will be available on site, and we'll order pizza if enough people come!

We'll also feature Chronicling America, a national database of digitized historic newspapers hosted by the Library of Congress. These newspapers reflect key social, political, and economic themes of the past that resonate today: race, immigration, labor, rapid technological change, war, and beyond.

They concern moderation of content by online platforms as governed by Section 230. The cases will be heard from 10 AM to noon, one hour each. We believe that we can hear a bit of the session if we line up very early. If you can be in line by 5:30am please join us. It'll be cold and there are no easily available bathrooms so ... prepare as well as possible.

Join the Georgetown community to help close this gender gap on Wikipedia by increasing the representation of underrepresented groups — in both Wikipedia content and contributors — on topics such as women in politics, women in STEM, and women in the arts. There will be hands-on training provided by representatives from Wikimedia DC.

  +
No Wikipedia editing experience necessary.
  +
  +
Bring your own laptop. Snacks will be provided.
